More than 3,000 visitors a year visit the Powerhouse at Stave Falls to enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience. Located in the picturesque Fraser Valley, the Powerhouse has exciting and engaging electricity demonstrations, teaches guests how different forms of energy can create electricity, and has turbines and generators you can see up close. Take a walk through time at historic Stave Falls by looking through old artifacts and exhibits to see how the powerhouse helped build our province.

At 5 km north of Revelstoke, the Revelstoke Dam is the second largest generating facility on the Columbia River on the Canadian side of the border. When built in 1984, the powerhouse generated 1,980 megawatts from four turbines. Since the addition of the fifth unit in 2010, the dam’s output has increased by 500 megawatts. That's enough additional electricity to power 40,000 homes per year.

Take in a breathtaking view from the top of the 175-metre dam, so high up that cars in the parking lot below look like toys. To learn more about the Revelstoke Dam, how it was built and how we use water to create electricity, visit us at the Revelstoke Dam Visitor Centre.

In northeast British Columbia, near the town of Hudson's Hope, is Williston Reservoir, the largest reservoir in B.C. The reservoir is held back by one of the world's largest earth-fill structures, the W.A.C. Bennett Dam.

To match the wonder and enormity of the dam and reservoir, we've created the brand new W.A.C. Bennett Dam Visitor Centre. Enjoy a wide range of new exhibits, interactive displays, a new cafe and a gift shop filled with unique items. To top it all off, you can take guided tours that let you see the dam from a unique perspective.
